Thanks Bin Jiang for the reply. Unfortunately I can not find many of the packages in the Cygwin repositories, so I have compiled many of them from source.
I did manage to get h5topng to compile. It required both libpng14 and libpng14-devel (version 1.4.3-2) from the Cygwin repositories. The default png libraries with Cygwin are libpng12 and libpng12-devel (version 1.2.44-1) I now have both versions installed which fixed that problem. The ./configure script still can not find libmatheval or the hdf4 libraries that I compiled from source. I have set the following environment variable in addition to the two previously mentioned via the command export LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib Any insight into why the configure script can not recognize the matheval and hdf4 libraries would be appreciated. kmd ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2010 13:12:02 -0400 From: Kyle Douglass <kyle.m.dougl...@gmail.com> Subject: [MPB-discuss] h5utils can't find libraries during configure To: mpb-discuss@ab-initio.mit.edu Message-ID: <aanlktikt__flvzfjbu8o1kxrv1f44=9oi5cqu9w+=...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I'm running MPB 1.4.2 under Cygwin 1.7.6 and Windows 7 without a problem. However, h5utils will not configure properly when I try to build from source. The following lines from the output of ./configure seem to indicate the problem: checking for png_create_write_struct in -lpng... no configure: WARNING: can't find libpng: won't be able to compile h5topng checking for evaluator_get_variables in -lmatheval... no configure: WARNING: can't find libmatheval: won't be able to compile h5math checking for h4toh5... no checking for h5toh4... no checking for jpeg_start_compress in -ljpeg... yes checking for DFSDgetdata in -ldf... no configure: WARNING: can't find libdf (HDF4): won't be able to compile h5fromh4 or h4fromh5 ... checking for mkoctfile... no configure: WARNING: can't find mkoctfile: won't be able to compile h5read.oct However, I have libpng12.a and libpng12.dll.a (from the Cygwin package repository) in my /usr/lib directory and I built libmatheval 1.1.7 from source. It's libraries are in /usr/local/lib. I tried setting the following environment variables in bash but the problem persists: export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib/:/usr/lib/" export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/:/usr/include/" Any help at building h5utils would be appreciated.
